Feeling like you need a tropical vacation, but the closest you’re getting is your kitchen? This Tropical Smoothie is sunshine in a glass!
It’s made with creamy coconut milk or pineapple juice, pineapple chunks, mango, banana, and Greek yogurt. No ice needed!
Super easy, refreshing, and just what you need to beat that hot day slump.
Why you’ll love this Tropical Smoothie recipe:
- Customizable: Swap out different fruits and liquids for a truly personalized tropical drink.
- Island vibes: The blend of different fruits paired with coconut milk or pineapple juice tastes like a tropical paradise!
- Loaded with nutrients: I love how how easy it is to get a bunch of different vitamins and nutrients in one glass! It’s rare for me to get another snack or breakfast that is this loaded with good stuff.
Tropical Smoothie Ingredients:
- Greek Yogurt: you can use plain or vanilla yogurt. Whichever you prefer! Vanilla will add more sweetness to the smoothie. Aim for something high in protein!
- Liquid: use either coconut milk or pineapple juice—or a mix of both! Coconut milk will make a thicker, creamier smoothie.
- Frozen Fruit: I use a blend of banana, pineapple, and mango, which creates the perfect blend of tropical flavors.

Tropical Smoothie Variations
- Use another liquid. I love the flavor of both coconut milk and pineapple juice but feel free to play around with the liquid you use. Other great tropical options would be coconut water, mango nectar, orange juice, etc.
- Add other fruit. The banana, pineapple, and mango combination is insanely good, but other fruit combinations work great, too. Try adding or subbing in frozen strawberries, peaches, kiwi, raspberries, you name it.
- Boost the nutrition. Give the smoothie an extra kick of nutrition with a scoop of old-fashioned oats, a sprinkle of flax or chia seeds, or a handful of raw cashews.
- Add protein. Vanilla protein powder thickens the smoothie and makes it extra creamy, plus adds a bit of sweetness.
- Make it green. Feel free to toss in a handful of fresh spinach or kale to turn this into a tropical green smoothie. You won’t even taste it!
- Yogurt: If you choose not to use yogurt, keep in mind that the texture won’t be quite the same! You can add more frozen fruit to thicken it if desired, or use a coconut yogurt for a dairy free option.
Make-ahead option:
Smoothies are so easy to prep ahead of time! Just portion out the ingredients into ziplock bags to make freezer smoothie packs and pop them into the freezer.
Whenever you’re ready to enjoy a smoothie, dump the ingredients into a blender and add a splash of liquid.
